Reviewed December 30, 2023Somehow this bottle is a perfect balance of sweet on the nose and palate while finishing witht a little bit of spice. I got this as a gift and it’s almost gone. I am definitely keeping an eye out for another bottle! -
Yellowstone Hand Picked Collection Single Barrel Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 18, 2023Smokey cigars on the nose and lots of flavors that as I identify individually I think are terrible. BUT… this is the paradigm of the adage, “sum of the parts is greater than the whole.” Comes off so much better than expected. Very soft and smooth, probably the result of the relatively low abv, but, whatever, it works… -
Sour-ish nose that doesn’t accurately foreshadow the sweetness on the palate that hits from the get-go. Maraschino cherry, pinch of cinnamon, drop of vanilla, and a couple cranks of the pepper mill. Finish leaves you with shadows of what came before and a surprising final kick of heat which comes off like someone crashing the party in my mouth.

Sam Houston 14 Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Batch PA-1 (Release No. 5 2020)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed July 5, 2023Very oily, tobacco on the nose so when those sweet (black)berry notes hit the palate it’s a real treat and definitely a surprise. The maple nuttiness lingers with a slight, almost rye-like finish. That tobacco nose from thr start kind of comes full circle and wraps the whole sip up in the end, but without that initially oilyness.
